RETRACTION: Activation of Akt/PDK Signaling in Macrophages Upon Binding of Receptor-Recognized Forms of α2-Macroglobulin to Its Cellular Receptor: Effect of Silencing the CREB Gene

RETRACTION: U. K. Misra, and S. V. Pizzo, “Activation of Akt/PDK Signaling in Macrophages Upon Binding of Receptor-Recognized Forms of α2-Macroglobulin to Its Cellular Receptor: Effect of Silencing the CREB Gene,” Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 93, no. 5 (2004): 1020–1032, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.20233.

The above article, published online on 9 September 2004 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Christian Behl; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised by third parties. Specifically, duplication of image elements has been detected between Figures 2A and 5A, within Figure 3 and between Figures 3 and 4B, and between Figures 4A and 6. In all instances, these image elements have been used to represent different experimental conditions. An institutional review confirmed the validity of the concerns. Accordingly, the article is retracted as the editors have lost trust in the accuracy and integrity of the whole body of data and consider the conclusions of the article invalid. The authors have been informed of the decision of retraction.
